This informational text teaches readers about the Grand Canyon. This book includes small graphs, charts and interactive holes in the pages to show rocks! I would recommend this book to 3rd grade and up. I say 3rd grade because I feel at this age they are starting to understand graphs and charts, so I feel they would be able to understand this book and be able to follow along with the informational stuff about the Grand Canyon.

This book is a very good informational book that I would say is good for a 2nd grade classroom. The book gives a lot of information about the current Grand Canyon and what life can be found there, but at the same time offers glimpses into the past. It describes what animals, insects, and birds live in the Grand Canyon and what part of it they might live. It gives little bits of information in the margins of every page which adds to the informational aspect of the book. I would use this book to teach kids about the Grand Canyon and about things such as erosion. The last few pages of the book are all informational so if students wanted to learn more they have the opportunity to. ( )

I really like this book and I think that this would be a good resource for a young child who is interested in nature and elementary earth science. This would make a great read aloud book.

Book description
Rivers wind through earth, cutting down and eroding the soil for millions of years, creating a cavity in the ground 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and more than a mile deep known as the Grand Canyon.

Home to an astonishing variety of plants and animals that have lived and evolved within its walls for millennia, the Grand Canyon is much more than just a hole in the ground. Follow a father and daughter as they make their way through the cavernous wonder, discovering life both present and past.

Weave in and out of time as perfectly placed die cuts show you that a fossil today was a creature much long ago, perhaps in a completely different environment. Complete with a spectacular double gatefold, an intricate map and extensive back matter.
